Mystery / Thriller Review

“Killing Floor” Jack Reacher #1 by Lee Child – Ingenious plot and calm but deadly hero”

“Without Fail” Jack Reacher #6, by Lee Child – cold, mechanical, short thriller – strictly for the Jack Reacher addicts

“The Girl On The Stairs” by Louise Welsh: tense, multi-layered thriller that I found deeply satisfying

“Iron Lake” by William Kent Krueger: Atmospheric, well plotted but slightly melodramatic

“Crocodile on the Sandbank” by Elizabeth Peters – Plucky English gentlewoman meets homicidal mummy in Victorian Egypt – Splendid fun.

“Chasing The Dead” by Tim Weaver

“Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter” by Tom Franklin

Started Early, Took My Dog (Jackson Brodie, #4) by Kate Atkinson – Highly Recommended

“Einstein’s Trunk” by Jim Haberkorn – couldn’t make myself like the hero
